The emotional weight of carrying a weapon in one hand and a child in the other, while also fighting for your country, is something she recounts with calm clarity.In the last segment, she speaks of the tough decisions soldiers make every day and how, even in the harshest moments, the Indian Army chooses dignity, duty, and humanity. This conversation is about what it truly means to serve, the quiet courage behind logistics, and the unseen grit of those who make national security possible.Subscribe for more such conversations!Follow Capt Yashika Tyagi Here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/captain_yashikahtyagi/LinkedIn: https://in.linkedin.com/in/captainyashikahatwaltyagiYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@capt.yashikahatwaltyagi6348About Raj ShamaniRaj Shamani is an Entrepreneur at heart that explains his expertise in Business Content Creation & Public Speaking.
